Pinky resting at the back of his tank.
See that little guy? His name is Pinky and he is a corn snake. He is our new family member. I just got him yesterday, January 29th. He is the first pet I have paid for myself, and I have been beyond words excited.
A few weeks ago, I was thinking about what I wanted for my birthday which isn't until March 7th. At first, I decided I just wanted a small tanked creature like a fish or turtle or reptile of some sort. I was (at first) willing to wait until my birthday to see what George surprised me with. Then I went to the pet store to look around and saw this little guy. I asked the attendant a bunch of questions and even got to hold him. The snake, not the attendant. LOL

First time I held Pinky.
After holding him for a few minutes, and not wanting to put him back, I decided that was the snake for me. I even named him before I even bought him. I went back a second time to visit him with my best friend, Dani, and the woman who feeds the snakes happened to be there. She took a look at Pinky and determined he was a male. I still have to get him checked for sure or wait until he gets a bit bigger, but I will know for sure.
Yesterday, I decided that I was going to pick up everything and there was no stopping me. I had the funds to get all of his equipment and I hoped I was going to be able to afford the animal as well. Well, lucky for me, I had just enough. Yay!!!

After I got him home and set up his tank, he was really active with his investigating his new home. He was going so fast he blurred in a few pictures. He seemed to be looking for an escape. No way, buddy. Momma secured your home well.
Our 5 year old male black cat, Onyx wanted to investigate the new quick-moving habitant of our home and did a little peeking of his own.

Overall, this has been a great new adventure so far. I am very excited about the years to come with my new small kid. Saturday is his first feeding at home with us. For those with weaker stomachs, I suggest not looking at that blog post. There will be pictures.
I am now the proud owner of a herp!!
